[nzlug] Energy saving Linux

If money is a minor object, have a look at www.itx.co.nz. They are full
PCs.

For about $500 you can get a case and system board. Add a laptop hdd or
Compact Flash to IDE adapter, and a stick of memory.

The Mini ITX boards are rated around 60W max, so the entire system (with
HDD spun down) should use less than 100W.

Oh, and unplug those flaming super-bright blue LEDs.

Hi,

I want to cut my electricity costs and am considering to replace a
Compaq 
ML370 with a less energy hungry piece of equipment. Basically, the ML370
runs 
LAMP+BiIND9+dhcpd+Squid (+iptables, of course). Are there any routers or
WLAN 
access points around that would be able to run these apps on top of
Linux?
